What Does Raised Lump On The Back Of Hand Indicate?
I have a raised lump on the back of my hand. I am pretty sure it is a swollen vein. It is extremely itchy and burning. I had to remove my wedding ring as it was uncomfortable although the hand doesnt look swollen. What could thid be? Thank you very much!

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such bump is usually a ganglion. Its a kind of cyst filled with clear fluid. It has connection with a joint. Can be painful. It is usually soft and rounded when touching it.
The best way to find out what it is, is to have an ultrasound of this area.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
